TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of new energy, and in particular to a motor controller with an annular circuit layout, a drive assembly, and a vehicle.

BACKGROUND

New energy vehicles are environmentally friendly and low-polluting because they do not use gasoline or diesel as fuel to produce power. With the vigorous promotion of new energy power generation technologies using water energy, wind energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy, new energy vehicles are gradually promoted. There are various types of new energy vehicles, including new energy electric cars, new energy electric buses, new energy electric trucks, new energy electric cleaning vehicles, new energy electric rail vehicles, new energy electric flying vehicles, and new energy electric shipping vehicles.

The new energy vehicle is generally equipped with batteries, a motor controller, a motor and power generation devices. Power transistors in the motor controller receive direct current (DC) output from the battery, and invert the DC into alternating current (AC) for outputting to the motor. The motor outputs a rotational driving force to drive the power generation devices, such as wheels and blades, thereby driving the vehicle to travel.

The drive assembly (i.e. the motor and the motor controller) in the vehicle can be integrated to reduce its footprint, so as to free up more space for passengers, batteries, etc. In the case where the motor and the motor controller are integrated, to achieve an efficient integration of the drive assembly, it is necessary to consider an optimization of connection structures and related layout between the motor and the motor controller, cooling of the motor and the motor controller, optimal layout of related electrical connection structures, and an easiness of assembly of related components.

Solutions to the Problem Beneficial Effects of the Present Disclosure Beneficial Effects

The cylindrical housing enables full use of the space at the rear end in an axial direction of the motor, such that the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. This design effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly. The multiple power transistors are circumferentially arranged and connected with the inner wall of the controller mounting chamber. The waste heat of the power transistors can be efficiently conducted to the interconnected controller cooling groove and motor cooling groove, realizing integrated liquid cooling and improving heat dissipation efficiency. Besides, using the inner circumferential wall as a heat conductor can effectively optimize the device layout of the motor controller, avoid the need for an additional heat conduction structure, and facilitate the highly integrated design of the device.

The even distribution facilitates space utilization. The power transistors are turned on by time sharing in actual operation. Therefore, the distributed arrangement realizes time-sharing heat conduction at different positions, thereby further improving the heat conduction efficiency.

The heat-conducting surfaces are closely adjacent to the packages of the power transistors, which increases the heat conduction area and improves the heat conduction efficiency. The collision avoidance grooves are convenient for the processing of the heat-conducting surfaces, and a certain collision avoidance space is formed between two power transistors.

The heat-conducting sheets may be made of thermally conductive silicone or a thermally conductive ceramic plate, which improves the heat conduction efficiency between the packages of the power transistors and the heat-conducting surfaces.

The power transistor mounting groove positions and limits the power transistors.

The holding member is provided in the power transistor mounting groove, and exerts an elastic force on the power transistors toward the inner wall of the controller mounting chamber, so that the power transistors are closely attached to the inner wall of the controller mounting chamber, thereby ensuring stable heat conduction.

The positioning frame is provided in the power transistor mounting groove, which limits the power transistors, so as to effectively improve the mounting stability of the power transistors. This design improves the performance stability of the drive assembly that is used in a severe vibration environment.

It can be seen from the above that, by utilizing the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor, through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. Three single-phase terminals pass through the partition wall and are connected between the motor controller and the stator. The projection planes of the three single-phase terminals perpendicular to the axial direction are located between the projection plane of the bearing perpendicular to the axial direction and the projection plane of the stator perpendicular to the axial direction. When the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals are connected, that is, when the rotor is not mounted, an operating space is reserved between the bearing and the stator. This facilitates the connection of the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals. The motor controller is provided at the rear end in an axial direction of the motor, which effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly.

The bearing is stably provided in the mounting ring wall, which improves the operational stability of the motor, and the three single-phase terminals are located on the outer circumferential wall of the mounting ring wall, which makes it convenient for the mounting and positioning of the terminals of the stator.

The first collision avoidance grooves can position the terminals of the stator, and optimize the layout space, thereby improving the connecting easiness and reliability.

The fixing holes are configured to attach and fix the motor controller. The connecting holes and the fixing holes are located between the bearing and the stator, so that it is easy to disassemble and assemble.

The second collision avoidance grooves can accommodate the wires and terminals of the stator, thereby optimizing the layout space.

The chamber cover isolates the two chambers, thereby improving the operational stability.

The fixing holes located on the second end wall of the partition wall can be used to mount and position the terminal block, such that different devices can be disassembled and assembled from both sides of the partition wall.

In addition, considering that the stator has a three-phase winding, the three single-phase terminals are arranged at the outer circumference of the terminal block body to connect the terminals of the stator correspondingly, thereby optimizing the wiring layout. In addition, the space formed by the three single-phase terminals can accommodate components such as the bearing, thereby improving the compactness of the structure layout.

The multiple power transistors are circumferentially arranged and connected with the inner wall of the controller mounting chamber. The waste heat of the power transistors can be efficiently conducted to the interconnected controller cooling groove and motor cooling groove, realizing integrated liquid cooling and improving heat dissipation efficiency. Besides, using the inner circumferential wall as a heat conductor can effectively optimize the device layout of the motor controller, avoid the need for a heat conduction structure, and facilitate the highly integrated design of the device.

The main circuit board, the positive electrode connection plate, and the negative electrode connection plate are each configured in a circle, and the three single-phase connection plates are each configured in a fan or arcuate shape. The three single-phase connection plates are coplanar and form a circle-like outline. The positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate and the three single-phase connection plates are laminated, and are electrically connected with the main circuit board through pins at their respective outer edges, so as to realize the corresponding circuit connection. The laminated structure reduces the axial dimension and achieves a compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, improving assembly efficiency.

The arrangement of the pins in the same circumferential direction optimizes the wiring layout and a circuit layout of the main circuit board.

The collision avoidance grooves make it easy for the pins to be arranged in the same circumferential direction, and can achieve the corresponding limiting purpose.

One single-phase bridge arm pin group, one positive electrode pin, and one negative electrode pin constitute one single-phase bridge arm. The multiple bridge arms are arranged in an orderly manner in the circumferential direction of the main circuit board, and the power transistors operate in a time-sharing manner during inverter driving, so the power transistors can also be distributed at intervals by using UVW in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the distributed arrangement realizes time-sharing heat conduction at different positions, thereby further improving the heat conduction efficiency.

The collision avoidance holes are centrally provided, and the arcuate single-phase connection plates in a circle form a connecting space at a center. Thus, the projection planes of the positive electrode connection terminals, the negative electrode connection terminals, and the three single-phase connection terminals, which are perpendicular to the axial direction, are located inside the projection plane of the second collision avoidance hole perpendicular to the axial direction. The positive electrode connection terminals, negative electrode connection terminals and single-phase connection terminals are centrally arranged, which is convenient for connection, and the pins are arranged circumferentially, which effectively optimizes the circuit wiring layout.

The connection terminals are arranged centrally, the pins are arranged circumferentially, and the power transistors are located at the outer circumference of the main circuit board. Thus, the pins of the power transistors are located at the circumference of the positive electrode and negative electrode pins and the single-phase pins, such that the main circuit board has more central space for the driving circuit layout, thereby effectively optimizing the circuit wiring layout.

The positive electrode connection plate is a bottomed cylinder, which accommodates the multiple capacitors and realizes effective positioning of the capacitors. In addition, the negative electrode connection plate plays the role of covering and positioning, which provides desired support for the stable connection of the capacitors. The main circuit board, the negative electrode connection plate, the multiple capacitors and the positive electrode connection plate are laminated in sequence. The laminated structure reduces the axial dimension and achieves the compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, improving assembly efficiency.

The first collision avoidance hole is used for mounting, positioning and placement of terminals. The annular device accommodating space is used to hold the multiple capacitors, such that the multiple capacitors are distributed circumferentially and well supported and positioned. The axially arranged electrical contacts are respectively electrically connected with the two ends of the capacitor to ensure the electrical connection stability.

The negative electrode connection plate is stably provided on the supporting platform, and the positive electrode connection terminals and the negative electrode connection terminals are located in the second collision avoidance hole. This design realizes the centralized arrangement of terminals, optimizes the layout, and improves the connection efficiency. The mounting shell and the positioning post assembly provide stable support and fixation for the main circuit board, the positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate, and even the motor controller.

The third collision avoidance hole of the mounting shell is used for assembly and positioning of other equipment. The connection and fixing platforms provide stable support for the connection of the positive electrode and negative electrode. The positioning posts provide support and positioning for the main circuit board, the positive electrode connection plate and the negative electrode connection plate. A capacitor positioning space is formed by the four positioning posts, which provides stable support for the connection of the capacitors and ensures the stability of the motor controller.

The radial arrangement of the first positioning posts and the second positioning posts is adapted to the arrangement direction of the capacitors which are arranged circumferentially, thereby further positioning the capacitors and improving the stability of the capacitors.

In addition, considering that the stator has a three-phase winding, the three single-phase terminals are arranged at the outer circumference of the terminal block body to connect the terminals of the stator correspondingly, thereby optimizing the wiring layout. In addition, the space formed by the three single-phase terminals can accommodate components such as the bearing, thereby improving the compactness of the structure layout.

The first terminal portions and the second terminal portions are respectively located outside or inside the wiring groove. The first terminal portions are circumferentially scattered to avoid the bearing, and the second terminal portions are circumferentially concentrated to achieve centralized connection of the motor controller and improve the circuit layout utilization of the motor controller.

Through secondary injection molding, the central ring portion, the outer connecting portions and the inner connecting portions are wrapped around the single-phase terminals, thereby improving the protection between the two terminal portions. The central ring portion can also be used for the mounting and positioning of other devices. The outer connecting portions and the first terminal portions are located outside the central ring portion in an axial direction and protrude outwards in a radial direction to avoid the bearing or the resolver and improve the space utilization.

The shielding wall can play a role of positioning and limiting for wiring to improve the connection stability, and also play a role of insulating the terminals of the stator. The three-phase terminal block is fixedly mounted in the drive assembly through the mounting portions, and one mounting portion is located beside one second terminal portions, which is easy for assembly and disassembly. Since the terminal block body can be provided with devices such as the resolver, the magnetic ring is provided around the terminal block body to reduce electromagnetic interference.

To hold the annularly arranged multiple power transistors at the same time through the annular base portion and the circumferentially distributed holding portions, the holding member is placed in a preset position, which realizes simple assembly and quick positioning.

The manufacturing, forming, assembling and positioning of the sheet-like holding member are relatively simple.

The abutting portions protrude outwards and are configured in an arc shape to provide a stable force for holding the power transistors.

Two adjacent holding portions form a device holding group for holding one power transistor. One first slot maintains the same holding force of two holding portions, and one second slot separates two adjacent device holding groups. This design enables the device holding groups to have a large offset space, and with the help of the annular base portion, the device holding groups can well hold the power transistors.

The laminated structure of the circuit boards reduces the axial dimension and achieves the compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, improving assembly efficiency. The connection position, the control circuit position, the first soldering position, and the second soldering position are sequentially arranged from a center to an outer side of the main circuit board along a radial direction of the main circuit board. The control circuit position, the first soldering position and the second soldering position are respectively configured in a ring shape. The pins of the positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate and the three single-phase connection plates on their respective outer edges are electrically connected with the main circuit board, so as to realize the corresponding circuit connection. The connection terminals are centrally arranged, and the central control circuit has a relatively large space. The annular circuit layout improves the structural coordination with the drive assembly.

The arrangement in inner and outer circumferential directions optimizes the wiring layout and the circuit layout of the main circuit board.

The capacitors are axially connected between the negative electrode connection plate and the positive electrode connection plate. Since the control circuit position does not need to be wired, the projection plane of the capacitors perpendicular to the axial direction is located inside the projection plane of the control circuit position perpendicular to the axial direction. The design avoids the pins and terminal portions on both sides in the radial direction, and effectively improves the rationality of the space layout.

The positive electrode connection terminals, the negative electrode connection terminals and the single-phase connection terminals are circumferentially arranged in sequence, and the Hall elements are provided at the single-phase connection terminals, which realizes the efficient space utilization of the collision avoidance holes and improves the connection easiness.

By utilizing the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor, through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. This design effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly. The positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate radially pass through the circumferential wall, making full use of the space in the horizontal direction and reducing the space occupied in the vertical direction or the axial direction.

The sheet-like connecting plates are easy for positioning and mounting, and further facilitate the layout of the axial space.

The arrangement of the three positive electrode connection terminals and the three negative electrode connection terminals facilitates the annular circuit layout of the motor controller. Correspondingly, the connecting plates are each provided with three connecting portions in a circumferential direction. The connecting base portions are used for bearing and connection, and provide stable support and fixation for the connecting plate through triangular positioning.

The laminated arrangement improves the compactness of the structural arrangement. In order to solve the interference problem caused by the laminated arrangement, collision avoidance recesses are provided. Through the reasonable structural arrangement, the positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate are laminated without interfering with each other.

The insulation design of the connecting sleeve improves the protection and safety of the connecting plates. The connecting box provided on the radial outer circumferential wall facilitates the connection of the positive electrode and negative electrode of the battery without opening the motor mounting chamber.

The outlet direction of the positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate is designed based on the mounting orientation of the drive assembly. In order to shorten the vertical dimension such that the vehicle has more vertical space at the drive assembly, the connecting holes are located between the top portion and the bottom portion of the housing, and the positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate are inclined to the vertical direction.

The present disclosure utilizes the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor. Through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. The three single-phase terminals pass through the partition wall and are connected between the motor controller and the stator. The potting glue is filled on the end surface of the partition wall facing the motor mounting chamber, such that the potting glue covers the first terminal portions that are connected with the terminals of the stator. This realizes potting and sealing of the first terminal portions and the terminals of the stator, thereby effectively improving the protection and efficiently conducting the waste heat to the partition wall.

The projection planes of the three single-phase terminals perpendicular to the axial direction are located between the projection plane of the bearing perpendicular to the axial direction and the projection plane of the stator perpendicular to the axial direction. The operating space reserved between the bearing and the stator facilitates the connection of the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals. The bearing is stably provided in the mounting ring wall, which improves the operational stability of the motor, and the three single-phase terminals are located on the outer circumferential wall of the mounting ring wall, which makes it convenient for the mounting and positioning of the terminals of the stator. In addition, the potting glue is accurately filled between the mounting ring wall, the partition wall and the inner wall of the housing, such that the waste heat generated by the bearing can also be conducted through the potting glue.

The first collision avoidance groove can position the terminals of the stator, and optimize the layout space, thereby improving the connecting easiness and reliability. The inserting holes are used for the wire of some sensors such as temperature sensors to pass through, and the connecting holes are used for the single-phase terminals to pass through, so as to improve the isolation between the motor mounting chamber and the controller mounting chamber and avoid mutual interference.

The second collision avoidance grooves can accommodate the leads and terminals of the stator, thereby optimizing the layout space. In addition, the terminals and the leads of the stator, and an end of the winding are positioned by the potting glue. The three single-phase terminals are arranged at the outer circumference of the terminal block body to connect the terminals of the stator correspondingly, thereby optimizing the wiring layout. In addition, the space formed by the three single-phase terminals can accommodate components such as the bearing, thereby improving the compactness of the structure layout.

The liquid cooling channel of the housing communicates with the partition cooling grooves of the partition wall. Therefore, the waste heat of the bearing and the resolver can be quickly transferred from the partition wall to the housing, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency and the operating performance of the drive assembly.

The present disclosure utilizes the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor. Through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. Three single-phase terminals pass through the partition wall and are connected between the motor controller and the stator. The liquid cooling channel of the housing communicates with the partition cooling grooves of the partition wall. Therefore, the waste heat of the bearing and some other components can be quickly transferred from the partition wall to the housing, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency and the operating performance of the drive assembly.

Since the partition wall needs to support the bearing and other devices, the partition wall needs a certain structural space. Thus, the partition cooling grooves are distributed circumferentially to improve the heat conduction efficiency of the partition wall without affecting the strength.

The guide baffles are configured to guide the cooling liquid at the outer side from outer ends to inner ends of the partition cooling grooves, and the mounting grooves make it easy for the mounting and positioning of the guide baffles. The guide grooves at outer ends and the through holes in centers are designed to adjust the flow direction of the cooling liquid, so as to realize sufficient heat exchange and improve the thermal conductivity.

Each partition cooling groove is provided with a larger open outer end and a smaller inner end, which enlarges the size of the channel and improves the heat dissipation performance while ensuring the structural strength of the inner end of the partition wall.

The casing realizes the relative airtightness of the partition cooling grooves and the liquid cooling channel, which facilitates the processing of the grooves and the channel, and improves the processing efficiency and the heat dissipation efficiency of the channel.

The motor cooling groove is mainly used to dissipate the waste heat generated by the motor, and the controller cooling groove is mainly used to dissipate the waste heat generated by the motor controller. The partition cooling grooves are located between the motor cooling groove and the controller cooling groove.

Since the terminal block body is provided therein with the resolver, the magnetic ring is provided around the terminal block body to reduce electromagnetic interference.

The liquid cooling channel of the housing communicates with the partition cooling grooves of the partition wall. Therefore, the waste heat of the bearing and the resolver can be quickly transferred from the partition wall to the housing, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency and the operating performance of the drive assembly. The potting glue improves the protection and heat conduction efficiency.

Thus, in a vertical direction of the mounting orientation, the housing 1 includes a top portion and a bottom portion. In the vertical direction of the mounting orientation, the connecting hole 138 is located between the top portion and the bottom portion of the housing. Therefore, the connecting box 55 is also located between the top portion and the bottom portion of the housing, and the connecting box 55 is located on a lateral side, so as to reduce the occupied space in the vertical direction.

In the prior art, the rear end in an axial direction of the motor is generally provided with a fixing structure or a heat dissipation structure, which is generally implemented by multiple cylindrical structures. The present disclosure utilizes the space at the rear end in the axial direction, and arranges components such as the motor controller, the capacitors and the power transistors in the controller mounting chamber at the rear end in the axial direction. The present disclosure optimizes the connection structure of the rear end in the axial direction through the circuit arrangement of the laminated busbar, the terminal block and the annular arrangement of the power transistors, etc. In this way, the present disclosure reduces the overall occupied space of the circuit devices and effectively utilizes the space at the rear end in the axial direction. In addition, compared to the existing motor assembly, the present disclosure maintains the axial dimension of the drive assembly, and also maintains the radial dimension of the drive assembly in the vertical direction by optimized connection through the connecting hole.

Embodiment of Vehicle:

The vehicle includes the drive assembly as described above. The drive assembly may be integrated with or without a transmission. The vehicle may be a new energy electric car, a new energy electric bus, a new energy electric truck, a new energy electric cleaning vehicle, a new energy electric rail vehicle, a new energy electric flying vehicle, a new energy electric shipping vehicle, etc.

It can be seen from the above that, by utilizing the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor, through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. Three single-phase terminals pass through the partition wall and are connected between the motor controller and the stator. The projection planes of the three single-phase terminals perpendicular to the axial direction are located between the projection plane of the bearing perpendicular to the axial direction and the projection plane of the stator perpendicular to the axial direction. When the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals are connected, that is, when the rotor is not mounted, an operating space is reserved between the bearing and the stator. This facilitates the connection of the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals. The motor controller is provided at the rear end in an axial direction of the motor, which effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly. The bearing is stably provided in the mounting ring wall, which improves the operational stability of the motor, and the three single-phase terminals are located at the outer circumferential wall of the mounting ring wall, which makes it convenient for the mounting and positioning of the terminals of the stator. The first collision avoidance grooves can position the terminals of the stator, and optimize the layout space, thereby improving the connecting easiness and reliability. The fixing holes are configured to attach and fix the motor controller. The connecting holes and the fixing holes are located between the bearing and the stator, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The second collision avoidance grooves can accommodate the leads and terminals of the stator, thereby optimizing the layout space.

In addition, considering that the stator has a three-phase winding, the three single-phase terminals are arranged at the outer circumference of the terminal block body to connect the terminals of the stator correspondingly, thereby optimizing the wiring layout. In addition, the space formed by the three single-phase terminals can accommodate components such as the bearing, thereby improving the compactness of the structure layout. The first terminal portions and the second terminal portions are respectively located outside or inside the wiring groove. The first terminal portions are circumferentially scattered to avoid the bearing, and the second terminal portions are circumferentially concentrated to achieve centralized connection of the motor controller and improve the circuit layout utilization of the motor controller. Through secondary injection molding, the central ring portion, the outer connecting portions and the inner connecting portions are wrapped around the single-phase terminals, thereby improving the protection between the two terminal portions. The central ring portion can also be used for the mounting and positioning of other devices. The outer connecting portions and the first terminal portions are located outside the central ring portion in an axial direction and protrude outwards in a radial direction to avoid the bearing or the resolver and improve the space utilization. The shielding walls can play a role of positioning and limiting for wiring to improve the connection stability, and also play a role of insulating the terminals of the stator. The three-phase terminal block is fixedly mounted in the drive assembly through the mounting portions, and one mounting portion is located beside one second terminal portion, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly. Since the terminal block body can be provided with devices such as the resolver, the magnetic ring is provided around the terminal block body to reduce electromagnetic interference.

The potting glue is filled on the end surface of the partition wall facing the motor mounting chamber, such that the potting glue covers the first terminal portions that are connected with the terminals of the stator. This realizes potting and sealing of the first terminal portions and the terminals of the stator, thereby effectively improving the protection and efficiently conducting the waste heat to the partition wall. The bearing is stably provided in the mounting ring wall, which improves the operational stability of the motor, and the three single-phase terminals are located on the outer circumferential wall of the mounting ring wall, which makes it convenient for the mounting and positioning of the terminals of the stator. In addition, the potting glue is accurately filled between the mounting ring wall, the partition wall and the inner wall of the housing, such that the waste heat generated by the bearing can also be conducted through the potting glue. The fixing holes are used to connect and fix the motor controller, and the connecting holes are used for the single-phase terminals to pass through, so as to improve the isolation between the motor mounting chamber and the controller mounting chamber and avoid mutual interference. The second collision avoidance grooves can accommodate the leads and terminals of the stator, thereby optimizing the layout space. In addition, the terminals and the leads of the stator, and an end of the winding are positioned by the potting glue.

The resolver is connected with the rotor and can monitor the rotation state of the rotor. The resolver is located at the side closer to the controller mounting chamber, allowing it to be routed to the motor controller. The chamber cover isolates the two chambers. The connection groove is easy for wiring, thereby improving the operation stability.

The liquid cooling channel of the housing communicates with the partition cooling grooves of the partition wall. Therefore, the waste heat of the bearing and some other components can be quickly transferred from the partition wall to the housing, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency and the operating performance of the drive assembly. Since the partition wall needs to support the bearing and other devices, the partition wall needs a certain structural space. Thus, the partition cooling grooves are distributed circumferentially to improve the heat conduction efficiency of the partition wall without affecting the strength. The guide baffles are configured to guide the cooling liquid at the outer side from outer ends to inner ends of the partition cooling grooves, and the mounting grooves make it easy for the mounting and positioning of the guide baffles. The guide grooves at outer ends and the through holes in centers are designed to adjust the flow direction of the cooling liquid, so as to realize sufficient heat exchange and improve the thermal conductivity. Each partition cooling groove is provided with a larger open outer end and a smaller inner end, which enlarges the size of the channel and improves the heat dissipation performance while ensuring the structural strength of the inner end of the partition wall. The casing realizes the relative airtightness of the partition cooling grooves and the liquid cooling channel, which facilitates the processing of the grooves and the channel, and improves the processing efficiency and the heat dissipation efficiency of the channel. The motor cooling groove is mainly used to dissipate the waste heat generated by the motor, and the controller cooling groove is mainly used to dissipate the waste heat generated by the motor controller. The partition cooling grooves communicate with the motor cooling groove and the controller cooling groove. Therefore, the liquid cooling scheme of the integrated heat dissipation channel improves the heat dissipation efficiency and the performance of the drive assembly. Since the partition wall needs to support the bearing and other devices, the partition wall needs a certain structural space. Thus, the partition cooling grooves are distributed circumferentially to improve the heat conduction efficiency of the partition wall without affecting the strength. The guide baffles are configured to guide the cooling liquid at the outer side from outer ends to inner ends of the partition cooling grooves, so as to realize sufficient heat exchange and improve the thermal conductivity.

The multiple power transistors are circumferentially arranged and connected with the inner wall of the controller mounting chamber. The waste heat of the power transistors can be efficiently conducted to the interconnected controller cooling groove and motor cooling groove, realizing integrated liquid cooling and improving heat dissipation efficiency. Besides, using the inner circumferential wall as a heat conductor can effectively optimize the device layout of the motor controller, avoid the need for a heat conduction structure, and facilitate the highly integrated design of the device. The power transistors are turned on by time sharing in actual operation. Therefore, the distributed arrangement realizes time-sharing heat conduction at different positions, thereby further improving the heat conduction efficiency. The heat-conducting surfaces are closely adjacent to the packages of the power transistors, which increases the heat conduction area and improves the heat conduction efficiency. The collision avoidance grooves are easy for the processing of the heat-conducting surface, and a certain collision avoidance space is formed between two power transistors. The heat-conducting sheets may be made of thermally conductive silicone or a thermally conductive ceramic plate, which improves the heat conduction efficiency between the packages of the power transistors and the heat-conducting surfaces. The power transistor mounting groove positions and limits the power transistors. The positioning frame provided in the power transistor mounting groove limits the power transistors, so as to effectively improve the mounting stability of the power transistors. This design improves the performance stability of the drive assembly that is located in a severe vibration environment.

The three single-phase connection plates are coplanar and form a circle-like outline. The positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate and the three single-phase connection plates are laminated, and are electrically connected with the main circuit board through the pins at their respective outer edges, so as to realize the corresponding circuit connection. The laminated structure reduces the axial dimension and achieves a compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The arrangement of the pins in the same circumferential direction optimizes the wiring layout and the circuit layout of the main circuit board. The collision avoidance grooves make it easy for the pins to be arranged in the same circumferential direction, and can achieve the corresponding limiting purpose. The collision avoidance holes are centrally provided, and the arcuate single-phase connection plates in a circle form a connecting space at a center. Thus, the projection planes of the positive electrode connection terminals, the negative electrode connection terminals, and the three single-phase connection terminals, which are perpendicular to the axial direction, are located inside the projection plane of the second collision avoidance hole perpendicular to the axial direction. The positive electrode connection terminals, negative electrode connection terminals and single-phase connection terminals are centrally arranged, which is convenient for connection, and the pins are arranged circumferentially, which effectively optimizes the circuit wiring layout.

The positive electrode connection plate is a bottomed cylinder, which accommodates the multiple capacitors and realizes effective positioning of the capacitors. In addition, the negative electrode connection plate plays the role of covering and positioning, which provides desired support for the stable connection of the capacitors. The main circuit board, the negative electrode connection plate, the multiple capacitors and the positive electrode connection plate are laminated in sequence. The laminated structure reduces the axial dimension and achieves the compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, improving assembly efficiency. The first collision avoidance hole is used for mounting, positioning and placement of terminals. The annular device accommodating space is used to hold the multiple capacitors, such that the multiple capacitors are distributed circumferentially and well supported and positioned. The axially arranged electrical contacts are respectively electrically connected with the two ends of the capacitor to ensure the electrical connection stability. The negative electrode connection plate is stably provided on the supporting platform, and the positive electrode connection terminals and the negative electrode connection terminals are located in the second collision avoidance hole. This design realizes the centralized arrangement of terminals, optimizes the layout, and improves the connection efficiency. The mounting shell and the positioning post assembly provide stable support and fixation for the main circuit board, the positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate, and even the motor controller. The third collision avoidance hole of the mounting shell is used for assembly and positioning of other equipment. The connection and fixing platforms provide stable support for the connection of the positive electrode and negative electrode. The positioning posts provide support and positioning for the main circuit board, the positive electrode connection plate and the negative electrode connection plate. A capacitor positioning space is formed by four positioning posts, which provides stable support for the connection of the capacitors and ensures the stability of the motor controller. The radial arrangement of the first positioning posts and the second positioning posts is adapted to the arrangement direction of the capacitors which are arranged circumferentially, thereby further positioning the capacitors and improving the stability of the capacitors.

To hold the annularly arranged multiple power transistors at the same time through the annular base portion and the circumferentially distributed holding portions, the holding member is placed in a preset position, which realizes simple assembly and quick positioning. The manufacturing, forming, assembling and positioning of the sheet-like holding member are relatively simple. The abutting portions protrude outwards and are configured in an arc shape to provide a stable force for holding the power transistors. Two adjacent holding portions form a device holding group for holding one power transistor. One first slot maintains the same holding force of two holding portions, and one second slot separates two adjacent device holding groups. This design enables the device holding groups to have a large offset space, and with the help of the annular base portion, the device holding groups can well hold the power transistors.

The connection position, the control circuit position, the first soldering position, and the second soldering position are sequentially arranged from a center to an outer side of the main circuit board along a radial direction of the main circuit board. The control circuit position, the first soldering position and the second soldering position are respectively configured in a ring shape. The connection terminals are centrally arranged, and the central control circuit has a relatively large space. The annular circuit layout improves the structural coordination with the drive assembly.

The positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate pass through the circumferential wall along the radial direction, making full use of the space in the horizontal direction and reducing the space occupied in the vertical direction or the axial direction. The sheet-like connecting plates are easy for positioning and mounting, and further facilitate the layout of the axial space. The arrangement of the three positive electrode connection terminals and the three negative electrode connection terminals facilitates the annular circuit layout of the motor controller. Correspondingly, the connecting plates are each provided with three connecting portions in a circumferential direction. The connecting base portions are used for bearing and connection, and provide stable support and fixation for the connecting plates through triangular positioning. The laminated arrangement improves the compactness of the structural arrangement. In order to solve the interference problem caused by the laminated arrangement, collision avoidance recesses are provided. Through the reasonable structural arrangement, the positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate are laminated without interfering with each other. The insulation design of the connecting sleeve improves the protection and safety of the connecting plate. The connecting box provided on the radial outer circumferential wall facilitates the connection of the positive electrode and negative electrode of the battery without opening the motor mounting chamber. The outlet direction of the positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate is designed based on the mounting orientation of the drive assembly. In order to shorten the vertical dimension such that the vehicle has more vertical space at the drive assembly, the connecting holes are located between the top portion and the bottom portion of the housing, and the positive electrode connecting plate and the negative electrode connecting plate are inclined to the vertical direction.
